We partnered with Farming the Future as part of theirField-Building programme, which aimed to support the land, food and farming movement to grow in resilience and connectedness, diversity and confidence, to see progress on key issues, great collaboration between different parts of the sector and evidence of influencing thinking and behaviour beyond the agroecological sphere.

Our role was twofold - firstly to act as a general source of support for partners involved in the Field-Building Programme through doing regular coaching calls, distributing support budgets, and making connections between people, and secondly to coordinate a sequence of collective learning and reflection activities, and distill the learning emerging from these throughout the programme.

This involved working closely with Farming the Future staff and ambassadors, as well as the partner organisations involved in the programme, to embark on a shared journey of learning and collaboration about what the movement needs. By the end of the programme, many new relationships and collaborations had emerged, which we hope will continue into the future.
